Telelogic’s integrated solution provides a seamless, model-based workflow that creates a bi-directional link between business and IT from enterprise architecture and business process analysis through the systems and software development lifecycle. It offers a collaborative platform for meeting the needs of the many stakeholders in this process, including enterprise architects, business analysts and IT development teams.

Steve Hendrick, group vice president of application development and deployment research at IDC, said: As SOA adoption evolves, we can expect to see a growing need for services that directly address business issues, including corporate architecture, process re-engineering and business process management. Similarly, IT organizations are increasingly concerned about being able to achieve and demonstrate tangible business outcomes that satisfy these services.
